Your Team's Power Rating: Dissecting the Maxpreps Ranking

10/20/2013

Part 3 of our Rankings Tutorial: Power Ratings

Picture
   Every team that Maxpreps ranks, is first given a power rating. That rating is usually somewhere between a +75.0 and a -75.0. It is the computer's final assessment of your team's performance and the strength of your opponents, to date.
   By performance, we mean not only if you won, but also if you scored and how much you scored. And did your opponents score, and how much did they score.
Power ratings are only based on actual games played against teams in your own Maxpreps division (11 man or 6-8 man). Also, only varsity-vs-varsity games are analyzed for rating purposes.

Picture
   Let's look at this past weekend's games and see how the ratings will be effected by the outcomes over the weekend. In the chart below, you'll see the top 15 teams in Homeschool Division Two. We posted their power rating prior to the games; then we posted the opponent and that team's power rating.

   Now let's analyze the final score and see how it jives with the expectations. If the score matches the expectations, then the teams involved will prbably keep their same power rating for another week. If one team did measurably stronger or weaker than the previous ratings would project, then a new rating will be issued.

   When Maxpreps finishes their regular updates and reassesses the teams' performances (done by Freeman Scoring), then the teams were all re-ranked by their updates power rating. This is how the national ranking numbers are assigned.
 Let's look at how the Monday ratings are impacted by the performances of this previous weekend:
